Lazarus + GLScene - *.lpl files not seen
lazarus / 1-Linux

----------------------------------------------------------------------

I downgraded my OS to 32 bit, because 64 bit was causing too many
hassles.  I tried installing fp-compiler, fpc-source, and lazarus from
the Ubuntu repositories.  All worked good!  Then I grabbed GLScene
from SVN via "svn co
http://svn.freepascal.org/svn/fpcprojects/glscene/trunk glscene", then
using the instructions here,
http://wiki.lazarus.freepascal.org/GLScene, copied the *.lpl files
with this instruction:

copy "lazarus/components/glscene/globallinks/*.lpl" to
"lazarus/packager/globallinks/"

I double checked to see that they are there.  However when I start
Lazarus and go to Components->Configure Installed Packages, the
glscene packages do not appear in the list.

How to solve this?

I tried moving "glscene" into "lazarus/components" and now the links
began to show up in the package manager.  However, upon rebuilding the
IDE, there is this message:

"/usr/lib/lazarus/components/glscene/Source/platform/glcrossplatform.p
as(1,1) Fatal: Can't find unit URIParser used by XMLRead"

As always, try right-clicking in the messages tab and choose "copy all
and hidden messages". Paste it somewhere. Your error message doesn't
look relevant (on line 1 column 1? That's the beginning of a unit!)

Hmm... a bug (maybe). Try reporting it.

It looks like this isn't totally related to GLScene, it is a problem
with the packages in the Ubuntu repositories.  Because it happens even
compiling anything at all.
